# How to block out days/hours within my schedule?

Each of your staff can have different work schedules and similarly blocking a date and time also works at staff level. Follow the steps below to set unavailability of a staff.

With the latest Appointy update we have tried to make the interface super easy and everything at your finger tips. There are two easy ways that you can block dates and times. 

**Option 1:**  On the DAY view of the calendar you can click on the blocking icon to block the dates straightaway.

**Option 2 :** On the "Calendar View" (which opens by default for administrator), click on any staff from the left area (_see the image below_).

Once you click on the BLOCK DAY/TIME link, you will get to the **Future Unavailability** page (_see the image below_)
